Vleminckx de Sausmeester
A fries window on Voetboogstraat since 1957, offering over twenty types of sauces and drawing constant queues.
Located at Voetboogstraat 33 near Spui Square, Vleminckx's signage notes it was founded in 1887 and moved to this current location in 1957. It is a street-facing window only, with no indoor seating or reservations—customers eat standing up after purchasing. The specialty is freshly fried thick-cut fries, which can be paired with over twenty sauces. The most popular is "oorlog" (mayonnaise, satay sauce, and raw onions), alongside samurai sauce and truffle mayonnaise. A portion with sauce costs about €4–5. The peak queuing time is in the afternoon, while the first hour after opening is relatively quiet. Some reviews mention it is cash-only, so carrying change is recommended.
Opening hours
Mon–Wed, Fri–Sun 11:00–19:00, Thu 11:00–20:00
